Conversing

"Do you want a drink?"

Looking at the Elven Princess sitting right next to me, I pulled out an extra can of soda from my Spatial Inventory, casually offering it to her.

'This feels cringe...'

I growled, observing as Rose carefully picked up the drink from my extended hand and placed it on her lap.

"..."

This, however, did not seem to break the silence as we both sat there in awkward quietness. 

I hoped that we would be able to move past this tension, but it seemed that Rose was lost in thoughts.

Tshhh...

Slowly, she opened the can of soda and put it to her lips, taking a small sip before setting it back down on her lap.

"..."

For a second, I noticed that her long, pointed ears twitched slightly, but she quickly composed herself and continued to remain silent.

"Is this by any chance, your first time trying soda?"
